RE: SteemSports: Ultimate Vote Betting (Mass SP Distribution Project)
To be honest.. I do not like the idea... that some users will gamble with community funds.
Fortunately as soon as people will realize that this is bad for the platform... few flags from whales will kill whole project.
I'm surprised at your comment, there are much worse things being done at higher levels than what is being done here. Sock puppets, whales raping the system, nepotistic voting, abstinence from voting thereby starving the community of growth etc etc, this is not about gambling, this is about distributing Steem Power to help the community in a fun way, the games are easy to predict winners most of the time so people can easy be powered up and hopefully games will be more frequent soon.
If this gets stiffled, Steemit will be seen as a 'witchhunt' community that doesn't allow innovation, and will chase away corporates and innovators. If you don't like something, speak to the person first in chat and try find out more instead of publically trying to hurt their project.
@lukestokes was diplomatic enough to do that and found out that the project is quite interesting and not what he first thought, see this link https://steemit.com/vlog/@lukestokes/how-do-we-defend-what-we-value-while-keeping-things-fun
I hope you will in time see we are trying to uplift the community, create some fun and Power Up the community so everyone can have a vote voice!
Sincerely,
Ricardo
Also just a quick one, we want to be bigger than Facebook one day right? Well we can't be if we exclude and alienate half of the genres that exist on Facebook, go and do a Facebook search and see how many sports betting groups and pages there are. Facebook doesn't censor them, why should we? We are supposed to be above censorship, crippling a project by downvoting is censorship.
